Ribbon Cutting Ceremony For Last Section of Trail In Hamilton County
On October 3rd, we celebrated the ribbon cutting for the final section of the Monon Trail in Hamilton County, right here in Sheridan!
Town Consultant Todd Burtron served as Master of Ceremonies, leading a lineup of speakers who shared the trail’s journey and impact:
• Former Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard reflected on the trail’s origins in Carmel, the early resistance from residents, and how far we’ve come.
• Dale Brier from the DNR spoke about the importance of trails and the funding that helped make this project possible.
• Joe Miller of Banning Engineering shared insights into the construction process.
• Town Council President Si DeVaney closed the ceremony by thanking everyone involved and highlighting the years of planning and effort that went into securing funding. He noted that the trail’s path through downtown Sheridan played a key role in qualifying for support from the DNR.
The Sheridan High School Cross Country Team had the honor of cutting the ribbon and officially breaking in the new trail with a celebratory run along the freshly completed section.
We were thrilled with the strong turnout and perfect weather. It was a monumental day for Sheridan and a proud moment for everyone who helped bring this vision to life.
